  • Difficult to give a definitive answer, because chemical formulae are part of the English language, and the compounds keep getting longer the more scientists learn.

  • Depends on what you consider a word. There are technical words that are just chains or suffixes for scientific names. The longest regular, coined dictionary word is

    hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian

    means having to do with long words

  • Elastic

  • I would guess it’s: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

    Don’t know if it has any real meaning or use outside of the Mary Poppins movie though.

  • newswardic and ostentatious

  • antidisestablishmentarianism

    Go look it up if you don’t believe me

  • floccinaucinihilipilification
